New TradePex, even more flexible

Tradelink rcently announced the addition of a new cross-linked polyethylene pipe, PEX-A to its exclusive TradePex system.

The new TradePex PEX-A pipe for water is a cross-linked, polyethylene (PE) pipe that is extremely durable – even at temperatures of up to 95 degrees Celsius – and has a high tolerance to wear and corrosion.

Tradelink’s General Manager Merchandise, Steve Lewis, said that PEX-A is a very flexible pipe that is easy to work with and provides fast and flexible installation.
“PEX-A is the most flexible of all PEX tubing types and has little to no coil memory – meaning that once straightened it won’t return to the original shape of coil,” he said.

“The more cross-linking, the more flexible the pipe, and our TradePex PEX-A pipe is cross-linked to a minimum of 82%, giving plumbers a pipe that is flexible and easy to work with.

“With the addition of our new PEX-A water pipe, TradePex has options – both crimp and sleeve – to suit all plumbers.”

The TradePex system offers premium temperature/pressure ratings. All fittings are made from high quality, dezincification resistant brass (no plastic), and with just one fitting for both gas and water, sleeve or crimp, the TradePex system gives plumbers a key advantage over other systems on the market.

Certified as compliant to relevant Australian Standards by ApprovalMark International, covered by a 25-year manufacturer’s warranty and backed by multinational company, Fletcher Building, plumbers really do have the best PEX when they buy TradePex.
